Download Anor 23 Issue 23 Editorial FinUy, thanks to Stephen Linley, without whom this issue of A.nor would be about half the size it is and not worth publishing. Surely som�>c>ne else in the Cambridge Tolkien Society is capable of writing! You can't all be illiterate English students! But even though Stephen's articles are almost all that was submitted for this issue they are well worth reading and perhaps might stimulate further debate on the influence of Tolkien's sources (and indeed the difference between pastiche and creative fantasy (see the Comment page)). However, don't be put off submitting material by the high quality of articles which do appear in A.nor: if you want to discuss an idea or a possible article then just talk to me (or to Stcphcn!) I'd also like to thank Susan Foord and Noel Evaiis for managing to keep me supplied with artwork. I'm sure either of them would be delighted to produce something on commission for you to hang on your wall, and who knows, a Foord or Evans original may prove to be a good investment. Next issue will hopefully include the return of our 'Lay-person's guide to Advanced Tolkicn' (yes Gary, this means you!), and there is plenty more material out there, indeed Christopher seems to be producing them faster than we can summarise and comment on Utcm for the guide. If you would like to contribute to Utat series - I'm sure you can work out who to talk to. Duncan McLaren NOTICE ••• NOTICE ... NOTICE ... NOTICE •.. NOTICE .•.

J Tolkien in Dutch: A WorldCon Report � One of the main attractions of ConFiction, the 1990 WorldCon, held in Ute Hague's Congrcssgcbow from 23-27Ut of August - aside from being an excellent excuse to sample U1e delights of Holland - was Utc Tolkien programme. This constituted a whole day (and a bit) of panels, talks and so on, devoted to Tolkien. This had been organised by Unquendor, the Dutch Tolkicn Society, who had managed to persuade Professor Tom Shippcy to be Ute keystone of Ute whole programme. ShippeyOil the History of Middle-earth Professor Shippcy's ftrst talk, entitled 'The History of Middle-earth- an appraisal', was given on Ute Saturday (so Utat he would not feel too overworked Ute next day). However, owing to Ute indecipherable nature of Ute programme guide, and perhaps Utc remoteness of the venue, it was unfortunately railicr poorly aUcnded. This was a pity, as I for one found it most interesting. Shippcy stressed Ute inOuencc Utat Tolkien's academic work, which routinely consisted of re­ reading and pondering old stories often over and over again wiili a succession of new students, had on his creative writing. In Utis talk he began by discussing Utc notion of depth, particularly wiili reference to oral traditions, which is to say Ute feeling Utat Uterc arc many ages and layers of story-telling lying behind any extant, and relatively recent, written version of a story which, as is Utc case wiili some Gennan ballads, may be over ftftecn hundred years old. This remains Utc case whatever Ute literary merits of a given wriUcn version. He Utus created for himself an opportunity to reply to Christopher Tolkien's comments in Ute Foreword to lh� Book of Lost Tales I about Shippey's discussion (in his excellent book 1111 Road to Middl�-earth) of Utis Uteme in relation to 171� SilmariUion - and to make a bid for a second edition (Hear! Hear!- AuUtor.) Turning to Ute History of Middle-earth series, Shippcy considered Utrcc questions. Firstly, what Tolkien was trying to do in Ute fli'St place; secondly what he was trying to do in Utc continual re-writing of his stories; and Utirdly what he thought he was doing. Shippey concluded that the oft-quoted claim that Tolkien was 'creating a mythology for England' was an impossible task for two reasons. Firstly, that there is almost no source material or information about the Angles before they migrated to Britain. This forced Tolkien to plagiarize closely-related Germanic traditions such as Egil's Saga, on the grounds that the events recounted all happened in York, or Burgundian tales on the grounds that Burgundians spoke a dialect very closely related to early Anglo-Saxon. Secondly, that there is no satisfactory definition of what precisely constitutes 'England' in historical terms, and at best there is only a vestigial English national identity (as can be seen in the use of the flag of the Union rather than the cross of St. George by supporters of the England football team). Should we, for example exclude the Danelaw, despite the far reaching Scandinavian influence on the English language, or do Danish Vikings count as English too? Both points gave Shippey the opportunity to indulge in a little light-hearted linguistic archaeology, to show that the English really are a mixed bunch - but they still recognise that they are distinct from the Scots or Welsh. For reasons of time, Shippey's remaining questions were not treated extensively, and indeed were somewhat run together. On the question of continual re-writing, Shippey suggested - nay, claimed - that the effect was the creation of an entire narrative tradition, both the good stuff and the bad. As for what Tolkien thought he was doing (a question which I suspect was simply made up for the sake of a nice tricolon), Shippey claimed that Tolkien didn't have a clue, and gave as evidence the fact that some of the central features of the tale of Beren and Luthien (references to hands, Beren's humanity and Luthien's choice) do not exist in the earliest versions. All in all, this was a rather loosely structured, but interesting, stimulating and well delivered talk which set the standard for the remainder of the programme. Shippey on The Heroic Ethic Professor Shippey's second talk; 'The Heroic Ethic - Tolkien's problems, Tolkien's solutions', initiated the proceedings of the main programme on Sunday. In some ways this was a continuation of his talk the day before, concentrating on how, feeling that some of the stories he was reading 'professionally' somehow 'belonged' to England, Tolkien wanted to bring them into his fiction. This time, Shippey focussed on the problems that Tolkien faced in incorporating stories, which, though often humorous, are cruel and heathen: something Tolkien was obviously uncomfortable about.1 Could he retain the 'native yet alien' flavour of these old stories after de-heathenisation and the removal of cruelty? In the case of The Home-coming of Beorhtnoth, Beorhthebn's Son, Tolkien deliberately misrepresents the Maldon poem through the device of Tort,helm's dream, suggesting that the most famous summary of the heroic ethic: Heart shall be bolder, harder be purpose, More proud the spirit as our power lessens. (Homecoming, p. 166) 5 is more appropriate to the 'other', the heroic past, or the heathen Vikings, than to the ninth­ century Angto-saxons themselves. The reason? Simply that he dislikes the hopeless heathen attitude to death in a country which had been Christian for 300 years.2 In LotR, he tries to get round the problem by marginalising it, pushing the unadulterated heathen heroic ethic onto minor characters, especially in the Appendices.3 For example, Helm Hammerhand (LotR, Appendix A) is a 'traditional' hero who ends up almost troll- or wraith-like, retaining the supernatural sha�shifting ..flavour of Egil's grandfather. The Dwarves, and in particular, Dain Ironfoot, typify that 'heroic dauntlessness which is perilously close to suicide', which compares closely with the heroism of the Battle of Maldon or of the story of Gunnar and Hogni. Finally, Shippey suggested that the death of Arwen is Tolkien's representation of what death is like for the heathen, that is, entirely without hope. In conclusion, Shippey suggested that Tolkien never found a wholly satisfactory solution to the question of whether you can have a heroic ethic without the nasty bits, but that his repeated attempts to find one were the driving force of his creativity. Other happenings: prancing, panels and parties At this point there was a talk by the Dutch author Tonke Dragt, which claimed some dubious connection with Tolkien, but as yours truly went to something completely different instead, what it was will have to remain a mystery. After lunch we were treated to Mike And Maggie Percival's balletic dramatisation of 111e Tale of Beren and Lut!Jien, an extended version of their performance at Oxonmoot in 1988. Five episodes of the story received the treatment: the meeting of Beren and Luthien; the enchantment of Morgoth; the death of Beren; the Halls of Mandos, Lord of the Dead; and the awakening of Beren and Luthien, of which only the second and fifth had been petformed at Oxonmoot.

  • Reimagining Tolkien: a Post-Colonial Perspective on the Lord of the Rings
    Reimagining Tolkien: A Post-colonial Perspective on The Lord of the Rings Name: Louise Liebherr Award: PhD. Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick Supervisor: Dr. John McDonagh Submitted to University of Limerick July 2012 i Declaration: I hereby declare that this thesis represents my own work and has not been submitted, in whole or in part, by me or any other person, for the purpose of obtaining any other qualification. Signed: __________________________________ Date: __________________________________ ii Dedication To my boyfriend Niall and my parents Michelle and Louis, the people who have most directly had to endure the wide range of emotions that this undertaking has subjected me to. iii Abstract This thesis analyses J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings from a post-colonial perspective. An Oxford don and philologist, who was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa but spent the majority of his life in Britain, Tolkien is best known amongst the general reading public for being the author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, although he also published a number of other texts during his lifetime. The primary aim of this project is to conduct a close textual examination of Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings in light of twentieth century post-colonial concerns regarding the representation of the Other, Orientalism, language and the environment. By approaching his text in this way, it will be possible to ascertain whether or not Tolkien utilises some of the issues which arise in his text in such a way that they engage with the concerns raised by twentieth century post-colonial theorists, a feat which would determine whether or not The Lord of the Rings can be seen to function as a twentieth century post-colonial critique of colonial attitudes and ideas.

  • Encountering the Anima in Africa: H. Rider Haggard's
    Jungian Journal of Scholarly Studies Vol. 10, No. 1, 2015 Encountering the Anima in Africa: H. Rider Haggard’s She Matthew A. Fike, Ph.D.* Winthrop University H. Rider Haggard’s She was one of Jung’s favorite novels and is frequently mentioned in The Collected Works. Although his view that She depicts an encounter with the anima is a critical commonplace, his reasons for considering Ayesha, the title character, to be a classic anima figure have not been sufficiently explored. This essay uses the anima’s widely ranging nature—specifically, Jung’s statements about the Kore and the stages of eroticism—to explain his interpretation and then to analyze Ayesha’s effect on Ludwig Horace Holly, the main character and narrative voice. His African journey is one of failed individuation: after repressing his anima in England, Holly projects his anima onto Ayesha in Africa, experiencing compensation and enantiodromia (a swing from misogyny to anima possession). In this fashion, She depicts the perils of directly confronting the anima archetype and the collective unconscious. In The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious, C. G. Jung writes: “The anima . has not escaped the attentions of the poets. There are excellent descriptions of her, which at the same time tell us about the symbolic context in which the archetype is usually embedded. I give first place to Rider Haggard’s novels She, The Return of She [sic], and Wisdom’s Daughter” (CW 9i, par. 145). Similarly, in his “Foreword to Brunner,” he notes, “The motif of the anima is developed in its purist and most naïve form in Rider Haggard.

This excellent collection of essays is long overdue, for in spite of the breadth and depth of scholarship dealing with female characters or feminist themes in Tolkien’s work, there has not been, to my knowledge, an entire volume devoted to this topic. Furthermore, as Croft and Donovan note in their introduction there remains “a continuing and alarming tendency among some current Tolkien scholars to remain unfamiliar with or to disregard outright the more positive readings of Tolkien’s female characters and gender politics found easily in both classic and recent research”(2).

(cc) 2005 Frans Ilkka Mäyrä 7. Good at Being Evil: the Demons of The Vampire Chronicles Az, the evil mother of all demons, grew angry and raged for her own purposes. From the dirt of male and female demons she made this body and entered it. […] She created the body as a prison and chained the grieving soul into it. – “Adam, Child of Demons” (A Manichean Creation Myth)1 NATURALISTIC SUPERNATURAL IN HORROR The early 1970s were a time of renewal for the demons. They had a promi- nent role in the redefinition of horror fiction that was taking place in those days. The general thrust was that somewhat romantic and formulaic old hor- ror was being replaced by realistically depicted violence and by stories that took their inspiration from the fears of insanity in an increasingly anony- mous world. Alfred Hitchcock’s two classic films of the 1960s, Psycho (1960) and The Birds (1963) were indicative of this movement towards monsters that had different sort of claims on realism and even credibility than what had been the case before. This new style was especially striking in the movies – the comfortless graphic realism of The Night of the Living Dead (1968) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) caused shocks and later campaigns to ban horror in home videos – but the new horror movies con- cerned with the demonic had their origins in novels.

LANGWITH A Thesis for the Degree of Doctorate of Philosophy University of St. Andrews 21 December 2006 ii ABSTRACT This study undertakes an examination of the representation of nature in works of literature that it regards as early British ‘mythopoeic fantasy’. By this term the thesis understands that fantasy fiction which is fundamentally concerned with myth or myth-making. It is the contention of the study that the connection of these works with myth or the idea of myth is integral to their presentation of nature. Specifically, this study identifies a connection between the idea of nature presented in these novels and the thought of the late-Victorian era regarding nature, primitivism, myth and the impulse behind mythopoesis. It is argued that this conceptual background is responsible for the notion of nature as a virtuous force of spiritual redemption in opposition to modernity and in particular to the dominant modern ideological model of scientific materialism.

  • "She": the Veiled Reflection of the Femme Fatale's Fire
    "She": The Veiled Reflection of the Femme Fatale's Fire by Allan R. Cook She-who-must-be-obeyed, Ayesha, the Queen of Death, the White Goddess of the lost city of Kôr who rules her kingdom with terror, She is the very image of the Femme Fatale. To disobey her or to scorn her is to earn & receive instantaneous death. For a man, to look upon her face is to fall hopelessly & vainly into madness; for a woman, it is to dissolve into futile, jealous obsession. Sir Henry Rider Haggard's creation, the character She, more than fits the image of the Femme Fatale; She-who-must-be-obeyed shows the concept's evolution from the redemptive but sensual beauties of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood through the darkly sensuous & deadly, androgynous mysteries of the Decadents & beyond. We see her condemned, reshaped, resurrected, redeemed & damned as Victorians in general & Rider Haggard in particular wrestle with their visions of beauty, honor & truth in the wake of industrial & scientific revolutions which had changed the face of England & the character of her citizens forever. When Haggard began writing She in March 1886, he claimed the words flowed from his pen. He explains: The fact is, that it was written at a white heat, almost without rest . I remember that when I sat down to the task my ideas as to its development were of the vaguest. The only clear notion that I had in my head was that of an immortal woman inspired by an immortal love. All the rest shaped itself round this figure.
